Here I hear radio jingle ads for "National American University". Ummm...yeah.

Who do they think theyre kidding, I wonder.

Ah Andre? American Military university is where I'm doing work on my masters. If it's a con , it's a big one. A VERY large number of military and government folks go thru them. They were created as "distance learning for the military".

Yeah but as a pop-up ad?

I'll admit that's new, but things ARE tough in academia I hear tell.......

Beautiful, Leo! I miss snow, but we get some occasionally in North Carolina.

Don't want to make anyone jelous (tm), but the last 3 days have been around 75F here.

We officially broke the 100+ year old record... we got 70 cm (that is 28 inches and above 2 feet) of snow in past 24 hours... it is very very very big amount for highly urban area (and they say that snow will continue to fall whole week)...

Going to the casino with $300 bucks and leaving with $740 is cool with me. Fun weekend at our board retreat. Went paintballing for the first time (played around with them all of the time, I just haven't "paintballed" in a match) and that was a blast!

Afternoon tithe... having a strange day I am; came into my surgery for some maintenance and was only meant to be here for an hour. That was 6 hours ago and I'm still here, as they need another part for my catheter. It is being couriered from the provincial Hospital which is on the other side of the Island, and should be here within the hour. So I'm laying here in the examination room with a pair of forceps holding me together, isn't life fun.

Thanks Andre, I'm well... very well, it was just one of my bionic parts needed replacing. They then sent the wrong part first-up, I then had to wait like a car in the Auto-shop for the correct one.

Glad to hear you're back home all safe and sound, Des.

Now, did they, perchance, tighten up all those loose screws and change the oil?

Yes, I was wondering the same thing. Still, with so much work being done to him, it's best to be sympathetic and empathetic to his plight. That's why I gave him an additional 12 hours to get the next turn done before I consider it an Allied default and game loss.
